Johnny Horton

John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably during 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and during 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". more »

I'm a-livin' on the other side
Of the track, it's true
But like it or not,
I'm just as good as you
If I see you comin' with your head held so high
Don't you worry 'bout me speaking,
I'll pass you right on by

This world is full of money,
But I haven't got a dime
Had a million heart-aches,
But I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger,
Or as meek as a lamb
If you want to get along with me,
You'll take me like I am

You can talk about your fancy friends
And your millionaires
I may not have their money,
But I don't have their cares
You can live in a mansion,
Set up on a golden throne
But all these things you have in life
Are gonna vanish when I'm gone

This world is full of money,
But I haven't got a dime
Had a million heart-aches,
But I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger,
Or as meek as a lamb
If you want to get along with me,
You'll take me like I am

This world is full of money,
But I haven't got a dime
Had a million heart-aches,
But I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger,
Or as meek as a lamb
If you want to get along with me,
You'll take me like I am
